Relating to the route designation for the issuance of a permit for the movement of oversize and overweight vehicles in certain counties.

SB 1485 designates specific routes for permits allowing oversize and overweight vehicles to travel in counties bordering Mexico, primarily affecting trucking companies transporting goods near the U.S.-Mexico border. The bill specifies exact paths, such as State Highways 48 and 4 or U.S. Highways 77 and 83, for movement between international bridges (like the Gateway International Bridge) and ports (such as the Port of Brownsville). It also details routes from the Free Trade International Bridge to locations including the Port of Harlingen and its industrial parks using Farm-to-Market Roads and other designated highways. This route requirement will apply to all new permits issued starting September 1, 2025.
